I don't really want to say too much, because it really ties into the plot, and spoiling you would be terrible. Originally, the show played it very straight -- they were on ships, in space, waging war against robots, but it never got TOO sci-fy-y, with technobabble, and crazy impossible machines, and so on. They had nukes and battered old spaceships and guns that fired bullets. However, as the series progressed, eventually we got to see rooms (not on the Galactica) with data streaming down the walls seemingly emanating from nowhere, and machines that could see the future, and technology that can be activated by putting your hand on a plate of water, like something from the Ancients in Stargate.
